Chapter 1381 - 1009: Sea of Blood Engulfs Jinling

The legend of resurrection has existed since ancient times, but no one has ever claimed to have seen it with their own eyes.

Yet now everyone has witnessed it firsthand: the slave who had originally been beaten to death has truly come back to life, sitting up with vigor. The shock this scene imparted to everyone is imaginable. People looked at each other with eyes full of curiosity, and their hearts were filled with confidence in following Zhang Chen to establish a foundation in the Northern Land.

After all, Zhang Chen has mastered the means of resurrection, which implies that even if someone is killed, as long as their body can be preserved, they still have a chance to come back again. This temptation for everyone is imaginable.

Everyone gathered around the man, scrutinizing him, asking questions, and continually checking his body. Once confirmed that the man had truly come back to life, thunderous shocks resounded in everyone’s hearts as if rumbling thunder exploded in their minds.

"Incredible! Truly incredible! If such a technique could be spread, why would there be any trouble in attracting talented individuals from across the world to join our Northern Land?" Ji Feihua’s voice was filled with shock.

Upon hearing Ji Feihua’s words, Zhong Wubai’s face also brimmed with shock: "I thought I had already overestimated him enough, but now it seems that what I saw was merely the tip of the iceberg, not worth mentioning!"

"With Zhang Chen’s ability, he can definitely attract countless talented individuals from around the world to come and join. Our Northern Land’s rise is upon us today." Zhou Qiucheng, looking at the man from head to toe with disbelief, still found it hard to believe that a person who had died was resurrected right in front of his eyes.

As everyone was discussing and marveling, time slowly passed. Soon, the ship’s supplies were replenished, and the demon race steward approached Zhang Chen’s cabin door, respectfully bowing: "Sir, we have replenished all supplies as per your instructions. Please give us further orders."

Zhang Chen sat upright in the room reading a book; recently, he had been collecting various cultivation techniques from across the world, hoping to spark inspiration to create a technique that would allow the soul to reincarnate while retaining memory, becoming immortal within Heaven and Earth.

Upon hearing the steward’s words and noticing the humility in his expression, Zhang Chen indifferently instructed a guard nearby: "Please ask Fourth Uncle to settle accounts with the stewards."

The demon race steward bowed and left with profuse gratitude, leaving Zhang Chen sitting silently in the cabin, his face solemn. Shortly after, Zhang Gaqi entered from outside the cabin, addressing Zhang Chen: "Our supplies are ready. Shall we set off on our journey?"

"Set off on the journey?" Zhang Chen’s face revealed a hint of evil qi: "There’s no hurry to set off; I have one more matter to attend to. Go and gather all the gentlemen and stewards on the deck; I have instructions to give."

Zhang Gaqi did not know what Zhang Chen intended to do, so he turned and left. However, he had only walked a few steps before Zhang Chen inquired: "How is the resurrected man being settled?"

"Awaiting your instructions; he is the one you went to great lengths to revive, and we dare not handle it on our own," Zhang Gaqi replied.

Zhang Chen appreciated Zhang Gaqi’s sense of propriety, for he only regarded himself as a head steward, never overstepping his role or performing tasks beyond his station.

Zhang Chen had already thought of a way to settle the man: "Keep him on the ship as a steward."

Zhang Gaqi nodded and turned to carry out the task.

Putting down the book, Zhang Chen’s eyes showed a hint of helplessness: "Trying to develop a technique that retains soul memory is truly not an ordinary challenge. From the Northern Land to this day, I haven’t found any idea; what even the ancient Saints couldn’t achieve, I wish to deduce with my not-yet-accomplished Immortal Dao status, is truly difficult."

Zhang Chen walked to the door and saw the Prince, wearing golden robes, respectfully waiting at the entrance.

"Greetings, godfather!" Upon seeing Zhang Chen, Wang Ye hurried forward, knelt down, and respectfully bowed, his eyes full of reverence, as if worshipping the Celestial God of his beliefs.

"Why didn’t you come in?" Zhang Chen looked at Wang Ye, who was kneeling on the ground, and asked.

With his cultivation level, he had long since noticed Wang Ye standing outside; he just hadn’t called him in.

"Although you are my godfather, the rules should still be observed. Without a summons from godfather, I will serve outside and never disturb your rest." The young man’s face was full of understanding.

Zhang Chen chuckled at this: "Who taught you the rules?"

Wang Ye smiled wryly: "During my stay at the Wang Family as a child, I was often chastised to establish rules. Over time, I understood them all."

Zhang Chen’s smile faded, his eyes revealing a cold murderous intent: "The Wang Family really deserves death!"

"It’s all in the past, not worth mentioning. I must also thank godfather for reviving the old man from my family. In the future, whenever you command, I will fearlessly face any trial." Wang Ye solemnly expressed his gratitude to Zhang Chen.

Zhang Chen patted the young man’s shoulder: "You are my godson; a father shouldn’t be thanked for what he does for his son."

"Understood, father." The young man straightened his face and solemnly bowed.

Upon hearing the term "godfather," Zhang Chen found it grating, so he patted the young man’s head, "In the future, don’t call me godfather, just call me father."

"Father!" Wang Ye shouted decisively.

Upon hearing this, Zhang Chen’s face broke into a radiant smile. He extended his hand and held the young man’s hand, "Come, today your father will avenge you, making the Jinling Wang Family, and all the demon beasts within Jinling, pay the price."

Zhang Chen held Wang Ye’s hand and walked towards the deck, seeing the various stewards of the Zhong Family and the Zhang Family already gathered at the bow of the ship, awaiting Zhang Chen’s arrival. Seeing Zhang Chen come holding Wang Ye’s hand, the people’s eyes showed a hint of surprise.

"I find myself quite matching with this child Wang Ye, from now on he is my godson. Treat him just like you would treat the young lord, do not show any negligence." Zhang Chen said this to the stewards of the Zhang Family.

All the stewards were taken aback, looking at Wang Ye with surprise, not knowing what was outstanding about this young boy that Zhang Chen would take notice of him.

"Quickly greet him." Zhang Gaqi called out to the stewards beside him. Although he didn’t know why Zhang Chen focused on this young man, he knew Zhang Chen was the patriarch of the Zhang Family; his words were final in the Zhang Family. Since Zhang Chen had recognized a godson, there was certainly a reason.

All the stewards of the Zhang Family paid their respects in unison, "Greetings, young lord."

Upon hearing this, Wang Ye was instantly flustered, looking at Zhang Chen in panic, not knowing what to do at the moment. Zhang Chen gently patted the young man’s head, soothing his tension, and told the stewards, "You may rise."

Then Zhang Chen looked towards Zhong Wubai and others, "Having just invited you all here, it is as the honor of my godson, I hope all of you will bear witness."

The crowd was surprised, not knowing what Zhang Chen meant by "honor," then they saw Zhang Chen holding Wang Ye’s hand, reaching the forefront of the deck, and spoke to everyone, "You all followed me to the Northern Land, trusting me, supporting me, today I will deliver truth to you, showing my skill, also giving you peace of mind. Stand on the deck and watch, see how I erase all living beings within Jinling City, and how we spread our name across the world as ultimately delivered in the future Great Dispute world."

Finishing speaking, not waiting for the crowd to recover, Zhang Chen stepped forward, traversing the void towards Jinling City.

"What did he just say? He said he wants to eradicate Jinling City?" Zhou Qiucheng looked at Zhang Chen’s departing figure, seemingly unable to believe his ears, his eyes were full of confusion, revealing a hint of bewilderment.

"That’s a Jinling City! With innumerable experts of the Demon Race inside, can he really wipe out Jinling City?" Zhong Wubai was also stunned, seemingly unable to believe what he heard, his eyes full of astonishment.

"Let’s see what he can do! Everyone knows Zhang Chen’s cultivation is high, but exactly how high, no one has ever explored Zhang Chen’s depth. Zhang Chen is not one to boast, since he has spoken, he must have complete confidence." Ji Feihua next to him said.

"Sounds like wishful thinking that shocks people, knowing within Jinling City there is an army of countless demon beasts, also innumerable experts of the Tenth Tier, forming an array should twelve-tier masters retreat three hundred miles, what ability does Zhang Chen have to say he will slaughter Jinling City?" Zhong Wubai’s eyes were filled with disbelief.

While Zhou Qiucheng thought of the earlier event in Chongzheng Academy where Zhang Chen battled the Yellow Heaven Dao masters and the Demon Race experts, his eyes revealed a hint of contemplation, full of expectation looking towards Jinling City.

And Zhang Chen descended from the great ship, step by step, walking towards Jinling City, as he walked, he saw shadowy, blood-red figures emerge from the void behind him, transforming into blood-red rays of light, rushing to the four directions of Jinling City. Those blood-red figures did not begin slaughtering but covertly lurked in the four corners of Jinling City, standing according to some mystical pattern.

The moment the Blood God Child appeared, Zhang Chen felt the malice from Heaven and Earth, from his Blood God Child the Origin Qi continuously flowing into the Great Thousand Worlds.

"It can last for a few days, but it’s enough for me to complete the plan." Zhang Chen looked up at the sky once, as his thoughts moved, the next moment surrounding Jinling City, the divine light within the Blood God Child quietly revolved, then a mystical great array started to operate, blood-red clouds filled the sky around, a blood-red transparent light shield covered Jinling City like a dome.

"Blood Sea Array!" At this time within Jinling City, the Qi Mechanism of a Tenth Tier Great Demon soared to the heavens, looking at the blood-red clouds covering the sky, their eyes filled with horror, "Someone wants to move against Jinling City!"

"Someone come, quickly form a defensive array!" The Great Demon roared to the sky.

And Zhang Chen stood within the clouds, overlooking Jinling City covered by the Blood Sea Array, looking at the Tenth Tier Great Demon soaring to the heavens, his eyes showing a hint of surprise, "Unexpectedly it’s an old acquaintance."

Do you ask which demon this is?

Among the Great Demons who once seized the Creation of Ba Snake, one is this Great Demon before us.

The opponent bears a bird’s head, now eyes full of panic, commanding and preparing the Demon Race army within Jinling City.
